Peak migration in Crisfield, MD

I didn't get any photos, only because it was so unexpected. Weather was sunny and clear, around 75 yesterday. We were in town from 9 am until around 12:30 (lunch time), and the monarchs were just everywhere along the edge of the bay. There were hundreds. I didn't try to specifically count, but they were as far as the eye could see, about every 10 to 20 feet or so. Not feeding, but rather appeared to be migrating in a spread out form, probably about to cross the Chesapeake Bay. I hope they make it before the foul weather tomorrow.
